Howley, Joseph A. "Book-Burning and the Uses of Writing in Ancient Rome: Destructive Practice between Literature and Document." Journal of Roman Studies 107 (July 10, 2017): 213–36. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s0075435817000764.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTThis article examines the burning of written material at Rome from the Republican period until the rise of Christianity, using the lens of book history. It considers why and how Romans burned written material, gathering for the first time all testimony of burning any kind of writing, and examines responses to these burnings in ancient discourse. A capacious, book-historical approach to Roman book-burning shows that differences in practice and uses — of books as opposed to documents, for example — account for the different consequences Romans saw for burning different written media.

Abstract:

Banning books from public and school libraries has sharply increased in the USA in recent years. I analyze the phenomenon of book banning from the theoretical perspective of how books get ritualized in different textual dimensions. Book bans have a long cultural history in shaping literary and religious canons. Comparison with book burning shows some similar and some distinctive strategies behind book banning. Like book burning, book banning aims to draw public attention and to offend political opponents. In contrast to ritualized destruction of iconic books, however, book banning attacks the expressive dimension of reading texts by trying to prevent access to them. Whereas book burnings aim to offend opponents’ sensibilities, book bans aim to prevent inspiration to imagine different social arrangements and personal identities. That goal is apparent from the disproportionate focus on banning books with multi-cultural and LGBTQIA+ themes. The ban acts as a warning against embracing certain opinions and identities. However, analyzing book banning as ritual also draws attention to well-developed, ongoing traditions of counter-ritualizing by many libraries. They publicize banned book lists and encourage reading them during “Banned Books Week” and similar events. Through this ritual analysis of iconic and expressive texts, book banning emerges as a traditional site of cultural conflict over the means and goals of textual inspiration.

Abstract:

Current technological opportunities for preserving the texts of books, above all the microfilming process, have the unfortunate side effect, Tanselle argues, of destroying the books themselves. This modern form of book-burning is all the more unfortunate insofar as it is being pursued by many who would otherwise consider themselves advocates for books and reading. The principal mistake, which has guided public policy decisions in this process, is to elevate the “text” above the “book” and moreover above the experience of reading, which entails an encounter with a physical object. Such objects, furthermore, carry within them vast fields of historical information that are lost when we concern ourselves solely with the text and, indeed, can even lead to the loss of texts themselves. Despite the mass destruction that has already been carried out, it is not too late for librarians and large professional organizations to voice their concerns and shift attitudes away from the promise of future bookless libraries and a public no longer sensitized to the pleasures and importance of the physical aspects of reading.

Abstract:

Transition from republic to principate brought a meaningful alteration in the area of conceiving freedom of speech. Republican standards in this matter were not apt for the new regime as it was too fragile to withstand the republican dissidence. New restrictions and ad hoc measures needed to be applied. Among them burning of books was of particular importance. The article deals with incidents of book burning in the times of Augustus (cases of Titus Labienus and Cassius Severus) and Tiberius (those of Mamercus Scaurus and Cremutius Cordus), which, although not numerous, were of high significance for freedom of speech within the new regime. On the basis of analysis of selected ancient sources and scientific literature on the matter, an answer to the question about their political meaning is sought. Accordingly, the socio-political background of change in the area of freedom of speech in the context of passing from a republic to the authoritarian regime of a principate needs to be taken into account. Unfortunately, historical sources regarding the matter are deeply unequivocal and scientific interpretations seem strongly conditioned by tendencies to discern crimen maiestatis in every case of book burning from the times of early empire, even if it is not plainly attested by ancient authors. It appears that the subsequent popularity of maiestas charges could have influenced the erroneous interpretation of previous incidents, which appear to have been — at least formally — distant from the law of injured majesty, being ad hoc measures at least in the times of the reign of Augustus. However, the essential point of analysis concerns the grounds of the incidents of burning books that took place under August and Tiberius, showing a step-by-step process of supressing the republican freedom of speech. Although rare, book burnings reflect a common tendency in new authoritarian rulers’ politics, which at first tend to deal with opponents unpopular among the aristocracy, only to move on to managing adversaries originating from the Roman élite. Nevertheless, the undertaken measures were not suitable for annihilating the books in question, contributing to their growth in popularity. The answer to the core question about the aims of book burnings under Augustus and Tiberius seems to boil down to mere propaganda, showing that dissident books would not be tolerated, no matter the social status of their authors.

Burning the House is the title of Barba’s book on directing and dramaturgy. This expression has a symbolic meaning, although this meaning doesn’t find an explicative description in Barba’s words. In the paper, we are attempting an explanation of the idea of Burning the House in relation with theatre while also exploring the use of various images of fire present in the last book by Barba (and Savarese): The Five Continents of Theatre: Facts and Legends about the Material Culture of the Actor. In this work, the idea of Burning the house is the hidden leitmotiv in the whole composition of the book.

Abstract:

AbstractAn illustration at the beginning of Deuteronomium 18 in the French bible published at Atwerp by Martinus de Keyser in 1530 shows the burning of a book in the background. This picture has been interpretated as an expression of the propagandistic value which catholic imagery acquired with the growth of the Reformation. The illustration, however, has its forerunners in earlier bible illustrations, the earliest of which appeared in 1490. Moreover, the editions in which the woodcut appeared cannot be regarded as catholic bibles. Though they were at the time presented as based on the Vulgata, they were placed on the Louvain Index in 1546. Furthermore, the subject depicted does not deal with the burning of religious books; Deuteronomium 18:10-11 contains a prohibition against sorcery, and the book shown in the woodcut

Abstract:

Daniel Diez Couch, “Setting Fires with Hawthorne: ‘Earth’s Holocaust’ and Book Burning in Nineteenth-Century America” (pp. 87–113) Nathaniel Hawthorne burned pages and pages of his own writing over the course of his life and investigated the topic in two tales, “The Devil in Manuscript” (1835) and “Earth’s Holocaust” (1844). While the former borrows from his own life experiences, the latter presents a cataclysmic vision of the destruction of all literature. Yet Hawthorne does not offer a typical lament—based in liberal ideologies of the progress of knowledge and the sanctity of the written word—for the all-consuming holocaust. Rather, he argues that the pyre yields a transformative and unexpected effect on the aesthetic and temporal qualities of the texts. Drawing on contemporary accounts of book burnings, Hawthorne generates a productive vision of the act by which the fire transforms texts into a visible spectacle of beauty. “Earth’s Holocaust” thus offers an aesthetic avenue for understanding literary bonfires. Moreover, Hawthorne rejects the premise that such events end the temporal lifecycle of texts. Throughout the tale, he contends that even though book burnings will occur time and again regardless of human reformation, books can surpass the effects of the flames even if such a process only occurs imaginatively. In the dematerialization of books—in turning them from a complete, bounded whole into embers and particles of dust—Hawthorne finds a redemptive energy.

Abstract:

A twenty-first-century visitor must find it difficult to imagine that the Thuringian city of Eisenach, lately known for its shopping, once held a place in the collective memory of Germans. On October 18, 1817, 450 students descended upon Eisenach for the Wartburg Festival, a two-day commemoration of the tricentenary of Martin Luther's Ninety-Five Theses and the fourth anniversary of the Battle of Leipzig. Drawing on the symbolic power of nearby Wartburg Castle, best known as Luther's hideout in 1521, the festival witnessed a number of songs and speeches calling peacefully for the introduction of reforms by German governments. But that was only part of the story. In a sideshow to the official proceedings, a handful of students also claimed to throw “reactionary” literature into a bonfire, thus interesting police across Europe.

Abstract:

In this article I approach Qur’an burning from the perspective of ritual studies. By conducting a discourse analysis of a YouTube video of a Qur’an burning, I argue that it can be perceived as a ritualized performance that communicates a variety of meanings to a variety of audiences. On one hand, the burning demarcates between ‘us’ and a Muslim ‘them’, thus serving to construct an ingroup identity. On the other, Muslims are constructed as a barbaric threat against which a civilized man is justified to use violence. To consolidate intergroup boundaries most effectively, Qur’an burning must be conducted within a community or preferably broadcast to a wide audience. Even when broadcast online, however, the act needs to involve a physical book. Consequently, both online and offline aspects are important for the ritualization of Qur’an burning.

Abstract:

We propose a discursive analysis of the biblical motif of the burning bush, as exploited stylistically and interpreted spiritually and symbolically in the Akathist Hymn dedicated to it in Romanian culture by the monk Daniel (Daniil Sandu Tudor), the initiator of the Hesychast spiritual prayer movement “the Burning Bush” from the Antim monastery in Bucharest. We’ll be working on the French version of this akathist, produced by archimandrite Father Placide Deseille with the help of one of the leading members of the “Burning Bush”, Father André Scrima. The Akathist Hymn associates the Mother of God with the burning bush, which burned without being consumed, evoked in the Book of Exodus, a “concrete” form of theophany witnessed by the prophet Moses on Mount Horeb (Exodus 3:2- 5). According to patristic exegesis, Moses saw the Mother of God in the burning bush. This analogy with the burning bush underlines the fact that the Mother of God represents the symbol of uninterrupted prayer, “the Queen of prayer and her incarnation”, who intercedes unceasingly for the faithful before her Son.

Abstract:

The article is devoted to close reading of The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha. The author supplies his literary-critical and existential comments to various episodes in the novel. He discusses the novel’s relation to myth and parody as well as the possibility of such an interpretation of ‘quixotism’ and statements that would resonate with the present-day realia. Reading the book again, the critic recognises it as the epitome of parody. Thomas Mann referred to parody as a myth (imitation, following in somebody’s footsteps). Here, parody gave rise to a new myth. The scene of the book burning would probably read more interesting if one had the knowledge of those books and could perceive the poignancy of this highly relevant intimation, this literary jibe — to the fullest extent, as we do while reading certain jibes in the modern press. But for this to happen, Cervantes will need his own Bakhtin. The critic suggests that Cervantes’ idea of the book underwent changes in the process of the novel’s writing, and so did the writer’s self-awareness: the author in the second part is noticeably different from the author in the first.

Abstract:

The essay covers focal topics, genres, and structure of the first issue of the Russian newspaper “Logos Review of Books”. The periodical is conceived as a review supplement to “Logos”, the leading post-Soviet academic journal on philosophy, culture studies and human research methodology. In terms of format it is an analytical monthly periodical covering not only Russian and translated books (fiction, nonfiction on humanities), but also products of new media, cultural events, and ongoing debates on problems of education, technologies, etc. The genre structure is represented mainly by critique and reviews, while burning issues are discussed in few essays, interviews, and comments. In comparison with academic style of “Logos” (however, in recent years it has been somewhat diluted with “essayism” and provocation), this format is closer to the popular scholarly criticism, and the publication obviously claims to be an intellectual trendsetter, while orienting itself on the foreign samples of book reviews (“London Review of Books”, etc.).

Abstract:

Having worked in libraries since her undergraduate days, this reviewer found that reading The Heart of Librarianship as she approached her fiftieth birthday helped rekindle some professional fires that may have begun to do more smoldering than burning. This small volume focuses on the importance of learning, teaching, and fostering the skills needed to meet the ever-evolving needs of library patrons.

Abstract:

Iam cognizant of how lucky I am. When I decided to teach Fahrenheit 451 to my Accelerated Juniors during spring semester at St. Johnsbury Academy, the biggest administrative roadblock I faced was finding two minutes in the English department head’s schedule to ask him face to face if I could. He said yes. And that was that. I did not have to fight with school boards, parents, or neighborhood committees. The books I handed out to my students may have been a little musty—ok, maybe a lot musty—but there were no “hells” and “damns” blacked out, no pages removed, and less than five minutes after Steve Jolliffe said “yes” I left the subterranean book room with an entire box of them at my disposal.

Abstract:

Seiwansawa, the book written by Oeda Ryuho is the first specialty publication of Senchado in Japan. He lived as a hermit in Kyoto and Osaka and lived as a man of taste, leaving various books on the elegant hobbies of literary taste, including incense burning. It was Seiwansawa that the publisher edited and published a separate article about infusing tea written during his lifetime. The publication of this book suggests high interest in the new method of making tea, infusing tea of intellectual in Japan at the time. He described his thought of infusing tea by quoting a number of Chinese references. Rather than accepting a large number of Chinese literature as it is, he added his views by adopting them analytically based on his experience and preferences. His though of infusing tea, which was revealed through the book, aims to inspire grace by recognizing infusing tea as one of the elegant hobbies of literati. His view of tea inherited Baisao's view by retrospecting the spirit of tea to Lu yu and Lu Tong, the literati of Tang period, but he considered pleasure rather than performance. This pursuit of elegant and pleasure improved the uniqueness and professionalism of the method of infusing tea, and his view of tea could be followed by Ueda Akinari and other later literati tea lover.
